Hazards
LD50 LC50 Mixture:LC50 INH RAT >800,000 PPM
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION: VAPOR IS HEAVIER THAN AIR
AND CAN CAUSE SUFFOCATION BY REDUCING OXYGEN AVAILABLE FOR
BREATHING. BREATHING HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF VAPOR MAY CAUSE
LIGHT-HEADEDNESS, GIDDINESS, SHORTNESS OF B REATH, AND MAY LEAD TO
NARCOSIS, CARDIAC IRREGULARITIES, UNCONSCIOUSNESS OF DEATH.
SKIN/EYE: LIQUID CAN DEFAT TISSUE.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:THIS COMPOUND IS NOT LISTED AS A
CARCINOGEN BY IARC, NTP OR OSHA.
Effects of Overexposure:BREATHING HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF VAPOR MAY
CAUSE LIGHT-HEADEDNESS, GIDDINESS, SHORTNESS OF BREATH, AND MAY
LEAD TO NARCOSIS, CARDIAC IRREGULARITIES, UNCONSCIOUSNESS OR DEATH.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:IN SUSCEPTIBLE INDIVIDUALS, CARDIAC
SENSITIZATION TO CIRCULATING EPINEPHRINE COMPOUNDS CAN RESULT IN
POTENTIALLY FATAL HEART ARRHYTHMIAS.
First Aid
First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR, CALL A PHYSICIAN. IF NOT
BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION.IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT,
GIVE OXYGEN. DO NOT GIVE EPINEPHRINE OR SIMILAR DRUGS. EYE: FLUSH
WITH WATER . SKIN: FLUSH WITH WATER. IF IRRITATIONPERSISTS, GET
MEDICAL ATTENTION. ORAL: GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT
INDUCE VOMITING AS THE HAZARD OF ASPIRATING INTO THE LUNGS IS TOO
GREAT.
